Pupils’ self-esteem, self-confidence and self-knowledge flourish as a result of warm relationships between staff and pupils and the nurturing culture of the school. They also develop because of the encouraging and effective feedback provided by teachers.

The curriculum for the youngest children is highly tailored to their individual needs and interests, while the oldest pupils are supported effectively by teaching planned to develop pupils’ analytical skills and prepare them for the likely academic demands of their senior or secondary school.

Academic leaders employ a robust tracking system which informs teachers’ understanding of the progress made by their pupils…. Teachers adapt their provision in response to needs identified by assessment data. This contributes to pupils’ good progress.

The school provides a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities, ranging from the ‘country club’ in the pre-prep school where the children extend their geographical learning, to those exploring coding or ancient history.

Pupils who attain highly in sport are supported in progressing to high level competition by specialist coaching.

Music is embedded across the school. Staff have shaped an inclusive approach where all pupils are involved.

An emotionally-healthy lifestyle is promoted by leaders through the provision of quiet classroom areas and the support available from the ‘wellbeing room’.

Pupils are encouraged to express their views and show appropriate consideration toward those who hold opinions different from their own.

The culture of the school cultivates a sense of self-awareness and an appreciation of the needs of others.

Leaders and staff model high levels of respect and consideration, which are then shown across the community.

Pupils develop a sense of responsibility towards wider society through involvement in local citizenship projects and initiatives.

Leaders maintain an effective safeguarding culture where staff are aware of their responsibilities and respond appropriately should a concern be raised.
